3 The Advanced Window

Unless your usage of recordMyDesktop is very simple, you
will probably need to visit the Advanced
window at least once, in order to better customize the behavior of
the program. You will also need to visit it, if you plan to record
sound using the JACK audio server.
The majority of options found in this window correspond
directly to the command line options, present in recordMyDesktop.
There are a couple of exceptions though, that are used to configure
the behavior of the frontend and do not affect the backend in any
way.
All options in this window are applied when you close it.
If you start a recording and the “advanced” window is open, it
will close itself and any changes you've made will immediately be
applied to your current session.
